research that monitor bird populations. Birds Migration patterns
in Israel are studied

comprehensive database.

the Knesset. Visitors can stop by for an
eco-experience. Bird watching and presentation about bird migration in
Israel is available for tourists visiting as groups or individuals.
the JBO provides
Israeli students, particularly children living in Jerusalem and other urban
areas, with a unique opportunity to experience the environment first-hand.
Student activities include "close encounters" with ringed birds, birdwatching
tours, a birdwatching club, lectures about bird life, nature conservation,
and presentations of current research being conducted at the JBO. |
